FreeNovelArmand’s blood was dripping from his hair down to his cheeks, and lastly, onto the clean sheets on the
gurney.
Slowly, the stench of blood began to fill the air.
The nurse who voiced out just now glanced at Armand before looking at Genevieve and said, “Take a
look at the patient. The metal shard is deep inside the back of his head, and he’s bleeding profusely. If
we don’t operate on him now, he’s going to die. Are you willing to watch him die?”
Genevieve held Armand’s hand and noticed that his body temperature had dropped even lower.
Obviously, she knew he was dying.
However, she remained expressionless and ignored the nurse.
A few minutes later, Timothy came rushing over with a group of doctors and nurses following him from
behind.
When he got nearer to the gurney and saw the state Armand was in, the smile on his face disappeared.
He then told the doctors and nurses behind him to push the gurney into the operating room. After
heading inside, they closed the door shut behind them.

and said, “Thank you for your hard work just now.”
The nurse who had reprimanded Genevieve earlier uttered before she left, “I’ve never seen such family
members. I wonder if they wanted the patient to die!”
Steven merely glanced at Genevieve and kept mum.
Soon, only Steven and Genevieve were left in the corridor.
As Genevieve was leaning against the wall, her gaze was fixed on the operating room opposite.
Although she looked calm with her arms crossed, her fingers were still trembling.
As time ticked by, the corridor was so silent that the atmosphere there was rather scary. The light was
still on in the operating room, which suggested that the surgery had not ended yet.
While they were waiting, Steven contacted people through his phone to get them to take care of the
explosion site. Besides, he was trying to make sure that the news of Armand getting injured wasn’t
leaked.
However, it was too late, and the news had broken.
“Mrs. Faulkner.” Steven walked toward Genevieve and whispered, “All the media companies have
found out about Mr. Faulkner getting injured.”
Those words didn’t surprise Genevieve one bit.
Ever since she found out about Samantha’s plan for revenge and the relationship between Armand and
Peter, Genevieve knew they already had eyes all over Jadeborough. Indeed, there wasn’t one piece of
information they couldn’t get their hands on.
Genevieve rubbed her teary eyes and said, “Wake everyone at the Public Relations Department up
and get them to handle the matter so that they can prevent the news from spreading further. After that,
get some people here to guard the entrance to the hospital. We can’t have reporters making their way
inside.”
While she was saying all that, her hands were trembling, and her voice was on the verge of breaking.
However, she still managed to give the orders to Steven calmly.
Steven was surprised by how much Genevieve had matured within a short period of time. “I’m on it
now.”
He then went to a corner to make his phone calls. Genevieve, on the other hand, just kept staring at
the operating room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLost in a daze, she then heard footsteps coming her way. When she turned toward the noises, she saw
a group of people walking toward her.
Except for Samantha, who was leading the group of people, Genevieve had no idea who the rest were.
However, she assumed they were members of the Faulkner family.
Steven’s expression changed when he saw them coming. He then approached Genevieve immediately.
Genevieve thought he was going to say something to her, so she tilted her head and whispered, “I can’t
hear in my left ear. If possible, please speak to me through my right ear from now on.”
Steven was stupefied by her words.
When Genevieve saw the group of people getting closer, she asked Steven softly, “Who’s the one
beside Samantha?”
She noticed that the man beside Samantha was about fifty years old, and he had eyes as sharp as an
eagle’s. Besides that, he looked extremely domineering with his straight posture.
At the same time, Samantha had her head slightly lowered when she was next to him. In fact, she
looked like she respected him a lot.
“That’s Peter, Mr. Faulkner’s uncle,” Steven answered softly. “He should be in Xedells. I wonder why
he’s here in Jadeborough now…”
